sometimes i wish i could call you up

you know, just to hear your voice

and for me that would enough

but my gut says its not the right time

though clearly i can't help from checking on you every once in awhile.

there's nothing i want more than for you to be okay, you know that

no matter what it takes, no matter what you need,

no matter what "okay" means for you at the moment.

coz i'm happy seeing you lately, as you smile and thrive 🥹

and somehow it eases the longing i have inside 

i know this is what you need, maybe what we both needed

to prepare us for the life and the days ahead

but always, always, i'll be here if you need me okay?

i don't see that ever changing, and when the time is right, 

i know mag abot na pud atong stars ani. 🥲

for now, please take care of yourself for me 💛

and i'll take care of myself, and be strong enough for you.
